Introduction

Most problems encountered when installing and using the modem can be corrected if you carefully read and follow the instructions in the documentation. Use the Troubleshooting section of this chapter to analyze and correct problems before calling Telenetics’ Customer Support Center or your local distributor.

The section after the troubleshooting guide tells you how to initiate and terminate tests. Chapter 4 of the326X Series Modem Reference Guide contains detailed information on these tests.

Assumptions

•The modem is set to factory default configurations.

•The modem has been installed with all initial cabling complete.

Troubleshooting

This section discusses:

•Dial operation problems

•Synchronous data compression (SDC) mode problems

•Leased line operation problems

The First Step

First, confirm that your data communications application is set up correctly:

•Confirm that your communications software is configured for the correct serial port to which your modem is connected (i.e., COMM1, COMM2, etc.)

•Confirm the COM port is configured for the data rate, word length, and parity your configuration requires

•Confirm that the cable connecting the modem to the host equipment is a DCE-to-DTE straight-through cable

•Confirm the electrical interface of your modem (V.35 or RS-232) and ensure that you have the correct cable installed

Troubleshooting Steps
